SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 527,182, dated October9, 1894.

Application filedFebrnary 10, 1894. "serial No. 499,784. (No model.)

To all whom it may coficern: .1

Be it known that I, ORMEL W. PIERCE, a citizen of the United States,residing at Olean, in the county of Cattaraugus and State of New York,-have invented 'a new and useful Cofiee or Tea Pot Hand-1e, of which thefollowing is a specification. I I v My invention relates toanimprovement in handles for coffee and tea pots; and the object of theinvention is to so construct these devices that a more durable andsimplearr rangement will be produced and one which can be manufacturedat amuch smaller cost than ordinarily.

To these ends my invention consists of an improved arrangement of'sheetmetal strips, whereby a wooden handle may-be strongly fastened in place,and in certain improved features of construction, all of which will be'fully described hereinafter and finally embodied in the claims.

Referring to the accompanying drawings: Figure 1 represents aperspective view of a cofiee or tea-pot having my improvements applied.Fig. 2 is a vertical section through the handle. Fig. 3 is a section online 0cac of Fig. 2. Fig. 4 is a perspective view of the attachingdevice standing alone. Figs. 5 and 6 are similar views of the twosections comprising my attaching device.

The reference letter a indicates the coffeepot to which my improvementsare shown applied, and b the handle.

c and 0' indicate the attaching devices and they are each formed of thetwo sections (1 and; e of,sheet.metal: Section d consists of a mainportion (2' having one end enlarged and provided with the transverseextension 01 The main portion (1 is formed with the flanges or ribs j",which extend from the extension (1 to the opposite end of thesection,where they merge into the arms f. Armsf' are formed integralwith the main portion (1 and are each of a length sufficient to extendaround one half of the handle 0, their ends being bent inwardly to formstuds g. These arms, f, are adapted to fit in the annular groove gformed in the handle 0, and to have the studs g project into the handle.If so desired the e ends of the armsf' may be joined by solder, as shownat g ,bu't this is'not absolutely necessary. p

The section eis shown indetail by Fig. 6, and consists of a sheet metalplate formed in the same shape as the main portion'd' of the section cl,and is adapted to be secured by f as shown in the first four figures;extension d liscurvedlaterally, so that it will fit snugly against theside ofthe coffeepot, and the parts may. be secured by rivetsorother'wise as shown at h, Fig. 1.

By this construction itwill be seen that the handle may be manufacturedat the lowest possible cost, and that when completed it is of a mosteffective character. The peculiar solder or otherwise to the edges ofthe flanges The construction and arrangement of the sections d ande'make the device as strong as could be desired, and when finished,itpresents aneat and attractive appearance.

Having thusdescriloed my invention. what I claim as new, and desire tosecure by Letters Patent, isi 1. A device for attaching handles tocofieepots, consisting of two sections of sheet metal, one of which isprovided with a lug for attaching to the vessel and with two armsadapted to encircle the handle, and the remaining sectionbeing securedto the first at the part between the arms and lug, substantially asdescribed.

2. A device for attaching handles to coffee and tea-pots, consisting oftwo sections of sheet metal, one of which is provided with longitudinalflanges, a lug for attaching to the vessel and two arms adapted toencircle the handle and having studs on their ends which areal-ranged toenter the handle thus securing it, and the remainingsecti'on beingsecured to the longitudinal flanges of the first, substantially asdescribed.

In testimony that I claim the foregoing as my own I have hereto affixedmy signature in the presence of two witnesses. V
